Data sheet updated in October 2026
The Manera Eclipse is a kitesurf waist harness built around an Adaptive Shell, rigid in the center to support the lower back and flexible on the sides to follow movements. Gel Foam distributes pressure over the entire surface, and the Down Hold System and Tuck Flaps prevent the bar from riding up towards the ribs. It comes with the ARC spreader bar in the length appropriate for the size. Two colors: Black and Largo.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The Adaptive Shell
The shell's stiffness gradually decreases from the center to the edges. In the center, it prevents the harness from folding and compressing your body under the kite's pull, maintaining true lumbar support. At the edges, it remains flexible to allow for torso rotation. This balance between support and freedom is exactly what Manera aimed for with the Eclipse.
Long-lasting Comfort
Gel Foam evenly distributes pressure and moves with you, preventing hard spots and irritation during long sessions. This makes contact with the harness feel more intuitive; you'll barely notice it's there.
A harness that stays put
The Down Hold System uses an asymmetrical attachment to direct forces downwards. Tuck Flaps, located at the ends of the ARC bar and tucked into the harness, compress when tightened, locking the entire system in place. The hook stays exactly where it should, even under heavy load.
Choosing between S, S+, M, and M+
Sizes S+ and M+ are essentially S and M harnesses equipped with a longer bar. For the same waist size, two body types can differ: one might be rounder, while another is more oval with wider hips. The + versions are designed for the latter. The size guide provides waist size, width, and bar length for each size.

FAQ - MANERA ECLIPSE
Measure your waist where you wear the harness. Then measure your body width from the front at that same point. Refer to the size guide: your waist measurement determines the size, and your width decides between the standard and + version.
Yes, it comes with the ARC bar in the correct length for the size: 24 cm for XS and S, 28 cm for S+ and M, 32 cm for M+, L, and XL.
The leash attachment point is at the front, on the right by default, and you can move it to the left. Manera notes that Naish leashes are not compatible with the size of its metal ring and may cause a release problem.
